Synopsis:
I Met A Girl follows the story of Devon (Brenton Thwaites), an aspiring musician with schizophrenia who is dependent on his older brother, Nick (Joel Jackson) to care for him. However, when Nick’s wife, Olivia (Zahra Newman) becomes pregnant, they arrange for Devon to move out. On a downward spiral, Devon is saved by Lucy (Lily Sullivan) a mysterious girl who is just as impulsive and romantic as he is. After one day together, they fall completely in love. Devon then arranges for Nick to meet her, but Lucy doesn’t show. They try to find her but her apartment is empty. Nick suspects that Lucy is a delusion, while Devon, desperate to prove his sanity, discovers a note that she wrote him: meet me in Sydney. And Devon sets off on an epic, cross-country journey to find her; the girl of his dreams… who may be all in his head.


My Review:
I Met A Girl is a hard movie to handle in the beginning. Once Devin stops taking his meds, you start to see more of his schizophrenia symptoms coming on. Especially when his demons start talking to him and making him doubt himself.

Devin takes a great journey leading him finally to Sydney, Australia where he meets a gentleman name Soul who helps him to print out fliers of Lucy (a girl who he met in his dreams, or was she real) to hang up around Sydney. And then a TV reporter finds Devin to ask him how he lost Lucy. When he goes on air, after telling his story, he starts hearing voices again and seeing this really bad nurse holding a needle whose waiting for him and sometimes, chases him. So he runs out of the studio, and his brother finds him laying on the ground in a park.

Devin checks into a place that can help people like him, and gets counceling. His counselor tells him that he's becoming more aware of himself and in control of his mind. He decides to check himself out. He gets a great job at a record store and moves into his own apartment. And then, something awesome happens! But, you'll have to watch the movie and stick with it to find out!
